Zentangle Diva’s Weekly Challenge #185 (Budapest, Hungary Edition)

September 15, 2014 19 comments

The Diva’s challenge this week was to create  a “duotangle” using only Phicops and DivaDance. I’m still a relative newbie at tangling, having never attended a Zentangle class, so I had never worked with either of these tangles before. That’s OK. It forced me to learn two new tangles and to simplify. I completed this […]

September 12, 2014 8 comments

This week, the Diva challenged us to use the Zentangle tangle “ING“. I am way, way late to the link share this week, but I have a good excuse. Last Saturday, we left for Munich, Germany (from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA) where my husband was speaking at the annual meeting of the European Respiratory Society — […]

The Zentangle Diva’s Weekly Challenge #183— “UMT – X-Did” by Annette Carlo

September 2, 2014 10 comments

The Diva posted the weekly challenge on Tuesday this week because of the holiday (Labor Day) yesterday. I think  quite a few of the regulars might miss it. However, I kept looking to see if she posted something because the Diva’s Weekly Challenge is now a sub-addiction to my general Zentangle and Zentangle Inspired Art […]

The Zentangle® Diva’s Weekly Challenge #182 — “Stripes”

August 26, 2014 7 comments

This is my second trying the Zentangle® Diva’s weekly challenge. The cue word was “Stripes”. I worked on this one while feeling very sad for a friend who lost his beloved golden retriever, Phoenix, that morning. I tried starting with a string, planning to use stripes going in different directions for each section. I think that “vision” […]

Updated April 15, 2020 Friends and relatives Readers who have been following this blog know that my husband frequently appears in my blog posts as “Mr. Excitement”. I hope new readers will continue to somehow find themselves at Boomeresque, so I think Mr. Excitement finally deserves an introductory blog post.

Mr. Excitement and I had the good fortune to be in Honolulu, Hawaii during one of the worst Philadelphia winters in years. After our month-long trip to Southeast Asia in January, in February we arrived in Honolulu on the Hawaiian island of Oahu to start Mr. Dr./Professor Excitement’s three month sabbatical at the University of […]

road trip to Philadelphia

One of the unanticipated pleasures of declaring myself becoming a Baby Boomer travel blogger has been the chance to meet up with like minded, interesting on-line friends in real life, either in my home town of Philadelphia or during travels. Last June, when I traveled from Philadelphia to Ontario for a travel blogger conference, I […]

Zentangle Inspired Art

(This post was revised on April 23, 2015 after I became a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), and most recently on May 10, 2020). My name is Jane Doe Suzanne and I’m a tangle addict. Apparently, I’m also a pusher as several friends are now also tangle addicts. (You know who you are.) The thing is, I […]

“You went where?” – A Visit to Luang Prabang, Laos

July 1, 2014 60 comments

Buddhist monks, Luang Prabang

Before I decided I should be a travel blogger instead of a lawyer, I’d never even heard of Luang Prabang, Laos. Pretty much all I knew about Laos was that during the 1960’s and 1970’s, it had the misfortune to share a border with Vietnam. In researching our trip to Southeast Asia, I read that […]

A Boomeresque Book Review: Chocolatour – A Quest for the World’s Best Chocolate (Volume One) by Doreen Pendgracs

Book review of Chocolatour: The Quest for the World's Best Chocolate

This first volume of a projected three has convinced me that travel writer Doreen Pendgracs is the “Rick Steves” of chocolate tourism. Like Steves’ books, this volume not only takes us to places, but also provides historical context and information necessary for an in depth understanding of chocolate. Pendgracs’ passion for and appreciation of chocolate […]
